Dear Cattlemen,
We
would like to welcome you to the 2010, 7-D Ranch
Production
Sale. Each year, we look forward to seeing
familiar faces and introducing new ones to our
program.
We have retained our fundamental goal since
our entry into this business – to produce
the highest quality Angus genetics that will
enhance
your program and your bottom line. Our family
has worked year round to accomplish this significant
goal.
The
increased demand for Angus cattle, and the progress
and growth
of superior genetics, are solid proof that registered
breeders and the American Angus Association have
been hard at work perfecting their product. This
includes studying performance data, analyzing
markets, and consulting industry experts. Programs
such as “Angus Source” have helped
breeders around the world bring more value to
the Angus breed.
We
believe that genetic change is the result of a
planned
breeding
program. We use Artificial Insemination (AI)
to maximize the genetic impact of elite bulls
and females. We rely on Expected Progeny Differences
(EPD’s), individual performance, and visual
appraisal for the selection of each bull in our
sale.
All
of the bulls have passed a breeding soundness test,
been PI
tested, and have undergone an ultrasound to give
you the most information and the best bull possible.
We have a zero-tolerance policy when dealing
with bad dispositions. This gives you additional
confidence when making your purchase on sale
day.
When
buying a bull from the 7-D Ranch, you are also
purchasing
a
program that stands behind its genetics and produces
cattle that optimize and balance traits of economic
importance to commercial cattlemen in today’s
Angus breed. The bulls in this sale will compliment
the quality and genetics of any cowherd.
This
year’s
heifer pairs are top quality. We raised Lots
1-5, AI bred them, ran them for a year and then
calved them for you.These pairs will be sold
in lots of 10. As always, we stand behind these
pairs 100%.
As
the years pass, we feel more and more fortunate
to
be able
to
take part in the Angus Program and its advancement
toward perfection. We are continually proud to
discover that with good cattle, you find good
people.
Thank
you again for your continued interest and support
of our
program.
